The thermostat provides a 5 minute delay whenever you turn it on to a/c.
The panel blinks "Cooling wait".

I used to have a mechanical thermostat, but had to replace it with an
electronic one a couple of years ago (necessary because I got a 2-stage
system). It will show "wait" and delay turning on the compressor when it
hasn't been off long enough. It assumes it does need to wait, when it
doesn't know. Even when electricity was off for about 90 hours because
of the tornado, it still came up with a "wait" (probably a good idea).

One thing I did notice last time I was up there, was that the many times,
when the thermostat is recording the house temp. the same as the set
temp., the a/c goes off, but will sometimes still come back on. That is,
if set to 72 and it reaches 72, it will go off, but come back on in a
while, even though the temp has not risen.


Temp might have gone up a little, but less that the display resolution.
Mine shows just whole degrees, but it could be sensitive to smaller changes.
